CAS-ual Fridays New Release Peeks Day 3 - Thanks

Big thanks for stopping by today! CAS-ual Fridays is sharing peeks of the newest release all week long! We've got lots of beautiful things to share - 5 New stamp sets and some new dies too. Today we're showing a new stamp set called "Thanks" and a matching "Thanks" word die. Michele is sharing projects from all the design team members and offering a $15 gift certificate all 5 days -so make sure you stop by her blog to enter to win.

The new "Thanks" Stamp set has lots of sentiments in different fonts that you can stack like I did here, or use on their own.

I made a simple watercolor wash background with oranges and yellows and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Watercolor paper is usually hard to stamp on because it's not smooth. I used my Misti and stamped the image several times to get a clean dark impression.

For my second card I thought I'd do something layered and fussy - to show how beautiful the images are no matter what your style.

I stamped both sentiments on pattern paper. One is raised with adhesive foam tape, and the "so much" is left flat on the base of the card.

Instead of sequins I sprinkled on some die cut confetti . The Fun Fetti Fri die is perfect for this. You'll find little hearts, stars, circles and flowers on this die - and guess what? It's on sale! The bit of blue punched scallop at the top left is the bottom of a Scallop Tag.

Ready to see more projects with this new die set? Here's a list of designers with projects to share today!

A Kept Life

When I left my full time career job my husband started calling me his "kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
